2017 Disznoko Tokaji Aszu 5 Puttonyos 500ml
2017 Disznoko Tokaji Aszu 5 Puttonyos
Producer: Disznoko
Region: Tokaji, HungaryAszu (meaning dried, here referring to botrytised berries, and a resulting sweet style)
5 Puttonyos (meaning buckets of botrytised berries added to a barrel, essentially dictating sweetness, here at a little over 120g/L residual sugar)
This is iconic Tokaji done well. Expect a plethora of dried apricots, orange marmalade, honey, hints of ginger, supported by generous floral characters.
You'll love this if: You want mind blowing dessert wine.
Maybe skip this if: You're diabetic.
When to open it: Literally at any point between now and the heat death of the universe. This wine tastes epic as is, but will outlive us all and continue developing greater depth for the entire time. It'll only get better, but how long you choose to wait is on you.
